Chicago.
CHICAGO, March Wheat prices
were moderately firm at the opening this
morning, but heavy selling orders caused a
break of &c. during the middle session.
In the afternoon there was a frantic effort
made by shorts to cover their sales, and
with free purchases by several prominent
bull spectators, the price for May delivery
touched S3Sc., the highest since the recent
big decline in prices set in. One OF the
features of the advance was that during the
greater portion Ofthe session the difference
between May and June was exactly one
cent, hut this gradually was wiped out and
May closed in the latest trading &c. higher
than for June delivery. Corn weak and
lower. Oats fairly active. Trading i'll
mess pork was limited to settling up, and
May and June contracts were ut about
previous figures. Lard q shade higher.
